<p>I was accepted as a transfer student for Winter 2010 on the condition that I finish a second quarter of French. I’m transferring from a four-year on the semester system where I completed French 101 with an A. I moved to Seattle during the Spring and enrolled in NSCC for the Fall. I planned on taking French 122 (UW equivalent French 102) at NSCC this Fall but the class was canceled on the first day of class, two weeks after submitting my application to UW. I got the acceptance letter saying I would be accepted on the condition that I finished the class I purported to be in. I talked to admissions and took the French placement test to place out of 102. I needed a 31 and got a 29, and they pretty much said, “tough luck, try again later”. So I’ve reapplied for the Spring. I want to know if it’s likely that even though I’ve been accepted for the Winter, I will not be re-accepted in the Spring. Has anyone else gone through something like this? What was the outcome? I almost would have preferred a flat out rejection. After uprooting my entire life and moving thousands of miles across the U.S. away from my family and friends before even being accepted to UW, getting an acceptance and subsequent repeal is not good for the emotional balance and idea of self-worth. </p>
<p>I’m really upset by the university’s unwillingness to work with me. My French teacher at NSCC was willing to write a recommendation, he was willing to let me finish the quarter in his 221 (UW equivalent 201) class, I found an online French class from now until January 1st, and yet they accepted nothing. They said any attempt I made at appealing the decision wouldn’t be accepted and I feared attempting since I still have to make an impression on the school. They couldn’t have cared less. It’s not as if I had to complete a ton of classes on my DTA, it’s one class that THEY offer, and they won’t let me take it during the Winter. </p>
<p>Blah, now I’m just ranting. The whole point of this is to find out whether anyone else has gone through this, if anyone has been accepted and reapplied only to be rejected, etc. I’m petrified by the fear that this was my only chance at being accepted to the university. Thanks.</p>
